Responsive preview card component using flexbox and grid
Design comparison
Solution retrospective
In a column layout it is very easy to manage the size of an image while making a responsive design. We can give a specific width to the container (which contains the image) and make the image's width 100% of the container width and use properties like 'object-fit' , 'object-position' , 'background-size' , etc to make the image responsive.
But, what happens when we are dealing with height of an image in a row-based layout (i.e. in mobile layout) ?
- Either in flexbox, when flex-direction is set to column.
- Or in GRID based layout.
How do we now make an image responsive now ? It would very helpful if someone could give a very simple explaination. If the explaination seems to be long , you can also point me to a article on the internet.

Congratulations on completing the challenge! š
- Feel free to checkout my product preview project code and notice how I manage height for this project.
In my projects:
- I always start with mobile-first workflow.
- I use at least one main element for a page (entire content goes into the main), and avoid divs as much as possible and use section and article element wherever I can.
<body> <main> All content </main> </body>
-
I Use relative units as much as possible and avoid absolute units whenever possible.

I remember when I started out, I made countless mistakes and spent long hours searching for solutions. But hey, you don't need to go through the same struggles! š To help you shorten the learning curve, I recommend going through the following articles. They contain valuable insights that can make your journey smoother:
šš 12 important CSS topics where I discuss about css position, z-index, box-model, flexbox, grid, media queries, mobile-first workflow, best practices etc. in a simple way.
šš 11 important HTML topics where I discuss about my thought process and approach to convert a design/mock-up to HTML along with other topics.
I hope you find these resources helpful in your coding adventures! š¤
I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing the amazing projects you'll create in the future! šš»
Keep up the fantastic work and happy hacking! šŖāØ
